Hi Mohammed,

What version is your ipmitool?
Try to use cipher suite 17 and RMCP+ with ipmitool.
E.g.,
$ ipmitool -C 17 -I lanplus -H $IP -U $USER -P $Pass lan print

Please refer to: https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/IPMITOOL-cheatsheet.md

Thanks,
Troy Lee

Subject: ipmi lan interface question

Hi

I am trying to test the ipmi lan interface for the first time. However, I see setting Authtype is failing. Please review the below logs and let me know if any inputs.
OpenBMC Version is 2.9 .

Setup:
Openbmc machince 2.7(seahawk) ------openbmc machine 2.9(transformers)


Below is the command outputs.

/* 10.41.8.50 is transformers 2.9 BMC IP.*/
seahawk:/# ipmitool -H 10.41.8.50 -U test -P test123 lan print -vvv
